King Aslan's POV:
I am Aslan von Braveheart—King of the Braveheart Kingdom. For sixty long years, I have ruled this land with unwavering might. Yet in all those decades, never have I faced a crisis so dire, so catastrophic, that it could annihilate not only my kingdom… but perhaps the very existence of mankind itself.
The wars of the past were but fleeting embers compared to the inferno we now face. Skirmishes with Gildoria, political tension with Solara, and even the demonic remnants scattered across Mount Archanis—those were manageable. The great beast Canis once broke loose at the northern border, laying waste to the lands of House Blackmore, even killing their patriarch. But even that monstrous force eventually sealed itself once more.
For sixty years, I believed we had seen the worst. I believed peace—though fragile—was within our grasp. I was wrong.
